I'm a New England girl, born and raised in Maine and Ct but I have lived all over the world. I've been in LA for the past 4 years for my entertainment career and, like most actors, picked up a job to make ends meet, in the real estate market, while pursuing my dreams in entertainment.
Now, the market here has really had the bottom fall out as of recent and many agents are struggling. I plan to continue my pursuit of the real estate market when I move back to the Portland, Maine area, at the beginning of October, since I have learned so much and know that I can be a real asset to agents and Realtors. I will most likely continue modeling and photography on the side as I am very passionate about them but I'm really craving some stability in my work since I'm hoping to start a family very soon.
My question is..... what's the market like in Maine right now and what areas seem to be the hottest. My family lives in Buxton / Saco area and I'm planning to move to Scarborough, Gorham, OOB, South Portland, Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Freeport, Falmouth or Yarmouth with my new husband (we just got married Aug 8th) depending on where we get jobs, everything is still pretty much up in the air and open for suggestion, as you can see. My husband is a network engineer and very good at what he does so his job is in demand no matter where we go. We are also considering purchasing a home in the next year, but I digress.
I have a degree in Psychology and a minor in Biology, have been modeling / acting / doing photography and make up for the past 10 years and use to help run a software company in Portland, PromoNet, Inc, while I was in college. I am currently the marketing director and handle all of the online advertising, web development and social networking for the agent I am currently with, James Engel. I have learned a lot from him over the past couple of years and know my knowledge will be an asset in a smaller market such as Maine. I'm a very creative and artistic person so I think I would love Staging or Interior Design as well. My interests are quite varied and my skill set extremely diverse.
So, any ideas, direction, recommendations, offers or advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for checking out my blog and thanks in advance for any feedback! Hope everyone is having a great day and I look forward to coming back to Maine very soon!
